- Reserve Pricing
This allows you to establish a minimum value, below which the item will not be sold. If it doesn't sell, you may simply "re-list" it for another 30, 60, or 90 days.
- Proxy Bidding
This allows buyers to establish a highest offer while still bidding competitively without the need of sitting in front of the computer to watch the auction.
- Flash Buying
Allows you to establish a "Buy It Now" price that will sell the item immediately and close the auction.
- Customized Auction Search
Search allows users to search for items that match a particular manufacturer, state of location, horse-power, etc.
- Auction Watches
Allows buyers to establish specific models and criteria to watch for. When an item comes up for auction that meets their criteria, they will automatically be sent an email notification so they can bid on it.
- Messaging
Bidders can easily send messages to the dealer with questions and comments. These are captured in the database and can be included in management reports. Emails are sent to the administrator or user to notify them of messages that have been sent to them. This would drive the user to the site to read their messages.
- Exclusive Auction Posting
Only registered dealers will be able to put items up for auction. Farmers that wish to list an assett will have to go through an "authorized TractorHawk dealer".
- Unlimited Pictures
Include as many pictures of the item as you wish. Pictures are automatically imported and converted to web-friendly thumbnails and pictures.
- Customized Data Fields
We can add data fields that are specific to your needs. This will facilitate management reporting.
- Automated User Registry
Users will register through the site so your staff does not have to be involved in the registration process. You will determine what data is required such as email address, physical address, phone number(s), etc.
- Secure Auction Administration
Your administrator will be able to manage all auctions. You will be able to edit the information on a posted item, close the auction early, with or without notification to the high bidder, or re-list an item that did not sell so that it does not have to be re-entered
- Secure User Administration
Your administrator will be able to manage all users. You will be able to delete a user, restrict a user from bidding, edit a users profile, etc. This puts you in control of who you do business with.
- Retract Highest Bid
Administrators can retract the highest bid on an auction item in the event that a bidder makes a valid mistake.
- On-Line Help
Explanations of how to register and bid are just a click away. Users do not have to try to figure it out with trial and error.
